Although
Perl
may have been born and raised in the
Unix
universe, the world's favorite practical extraction
and reporting language has had, and has had for some time,
an established home on Windows.
Led by such companies as ActiveState, Perl has grown steadily
since mid 1995, adding both standard Perl functionality, as
well as a host of Windows-specific functionality such as OLE
and COM integration.
In fact, by now, any Perl developer can feel confident that the
applications she writes on UNIX-based servers will run without
a hitch when moved to Windows-based servers. Even long-time
porting nightmare problem cases such as the implementation of
fork are being solved.
And there is reason to believe that Perl/Windows-integration
will continue. That Microsoft itself is committed to
supporting Perl is demonstrated by the fact that Microsoft
has been a major funder of Perl on Windows development since
development began. In fact, with the recent signing of a
three-year funding agreement between Microsoft and
ActiveState, there is no doubt Perl will be an integral
part of Windows going forward.
If you are looking for more information on Perl for Windows,
there are quite a few excellent sites around. The sites
include the following:
